Out that end of town - thought I'd check to see if my dealer had the new People.
Very surprised to see 2 of them sitting on the floor near a pair of the 300's.
Saw the 'made in China' sticker near the gear oil fill. At $3499, for front ABS, twin discs and front/rear LEDs - it would have to be from China.
My thoughts after inspecting it and sitting on it:
I did not feel crowded (as I
do on the Xtown 300's!!) on the People, though the room for feet is less than the Liberty, and the LIKE.
Fit and finish looked good. Put a pair of City Grip II's on and you'd be all set!
I like that it is still air-cooled simple.
If these had been around when I was shopping for a big wheel scooter 4 years ago - I would have looked hard at them - when I was buying my Piaggio Liberty150i.
They look 'tall' and a bit awkward to my eye - like the SH Hondas - compared to the sleek Italian design of the Liberty.
But you do get another rear shock and a disc and a valve on the Kymco compared to the Liberty - at $500 more than the Liberty.
Piaggio and Kymco have been making big wheel scooters for decades - so they probably have them well sorted by 2022.
Definitely felt crowded on the Kymco 300 - that seat takes no prisoners of tall guys! Not so the People's ergos. The 300's seem huge to me. And are built like they should have a 400 in them...like a Burgman.

would like a chat with Kymco's color dept
I mean - look what you can do with some color!
